The night is confused, in the Longde Palace, it is deserted and lonely, many courtyard doors and windows are close, it is pitch black, and the fallen leaves are all over the ground, but no one cleans it.

I don't know if it's deliberate, Taoguang is obscure, or it's a matter of fact, confined in the palace, true or false, no one knows.

"Emperor Qiqi Daojun, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, has come to see you, and the king of Yun is also with King Kang, as well as Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke, and Qin Hui."

The chamberlain came in and said to Zhao Ji, who was splashing ink in the study.

After more than three years of living in the cold, he didn't ask about political affairs, but Zhao Ji's complexion improved, and his pale face also turned bloody, looking refreshed, more fairy, and elegant.

"Let them in. It's rare that someone still comes to see me, a wasted person. ”

Zhao Ji shook his head, the wolf in his hand did not stop at all, and the thin gold characters of Qu Tie and Jin kept jumping out, which was quite artistic.

Zhao Kai and his entourage came in, and when they saw Zhao Ji waving, they were all gathered next to them, looking intently, and they didn't see any difference between the outside and the slightest.

"Pretty doesn't compete for spring, only reports spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes. ”

Zhao Gou read it softly, and couldn't help but praise: "The Emperor Taishang's penmanship is sharp, the iron painting silver hook, elegant and energetic, it can really be described as a masterpiece in the word, and the sons have been taught."

Just like his mediocre father Zhao Ji created the "thin gold body", although Zhao Gou in history was politically mediocre and incompetent politically, and militarily fearful of gold like a tiger, he was also a master in calligraphy. He is good at true, line, cursive, free and graceful penmanship, natural and smooth, quite the charm of the Jin people, its calligraphy influenced and influenced the Southern Song Dynasty calligraphy, descendants imitate its calligraphy, is a well-deserved font everyone.

Since Zhao Gou said so, there must be no doubt that it is a fine product, and there is no suspicion of flattery.

Zhao Kai frowned and said, "Emperor Daojun, why don't you create some new words, but write the words of Wang Song, a thief?" This thief wields power and holds heavy troops, not a good minister of the court. Fortunately, God has mercy and the second thief has fallen, otherwise the foundation of my Great Song Ancestors will be destroyed in a flash. ”

Zhao Ji put down the pen, cleaned his hands, looked at his son, and then said in a deep voice: "Wang Song is both civil and military, a genius in the sky, rare in the world. It's just that he died outside the river, and for my Great Song, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. The armies of the Great Song Dynasty, all the warriors who are good at fighting, are his subordinates. He can be regarded as a meritorious person. ”

Zhao Kai's face turned red, and he said yes again and again, and stood aside.

"What the Emperor said is extremely true. A genius like Wang Song is rare in a century. ”

Geng Nanzhong stroked the rare whiskers under his chin and praised his opponent rarely.

"There is "Man Jianghong" in the front, "Breaking the Array" in the back, and two "Fortune Operators. Yongmei», is unique in its artistic conception. Don't hide it from the emperor, the old minister has no intention of fighting for spring, and he is jealous of the group. Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before" is admired for a long time, every time I read it, I still feel that the meaning is reached, and I can't help myself. ”

Zhao Kai shook his head disdainfully and said: "Geng Xiang, I didn't expect that this Wang Song was still your confidant, but it surprised this king!" I really don't know how this martial artist can get the blue eyes of Geng Xiang?"

He didn't dare to touch his father's moldy head, and complained to Geng Nanzhong and other ministers, which could be regarded as a bad mouth.

Tang Ke said with a smile: "Geng Xiang is a relative, what he means, the heart of Bingqing and Jade is just deceived repeatedly. King Yun doesn't have to take it seriously. Geng Lao Xianggong and Wang Song are incompatible, this is a well-known thing. Wang Songwufu took power, so he naturally spurned it for us. But when it comes to poetry talent, I call Wang Song the second, and no one dares to call it the first. ”

Zhao Gou smiled secretly in his heart. Zhao Kai has always been haunted by the festival between him and Wang Song, which will make the Emperor Taishang look down on him.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Kai, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, he shook his head and said: "Wang Song became a poem in seven steps, and no one in this dynasty can match it, even if it is the two champions of Doctor Qin and King Yun, it is very different." But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Being a man is important in self-saving, and when a man has passed away, there is no need to rest assured. ”

Qin Hui bowed and said, "What the Emperor Taishang said is that the ministers have been taught."

Zhao Kai stepped forward and said resignedly: "Erchen made the emperor smile."

Zhao Ji shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "You grew up in the deep palace since you were a child, you have fine clothes and jade food, and your life experience is naturally less than Wang Song." Everything in the world is learning. You can take your time. ”

Zhao Gou's heart sank. It seems that in the heart of the Emperor Taishang, his champion prince is indeed the first choice for the throne in his heart.

Zhao Ji looked at the people dressed in black and hiding their heads and faces, and frowned slightly.

"When you came, no one noticed, did they?"

"The Emperor can rest assured that we will come in batches, and we will take a few turns outside first, and no one will find out."

"That's good, so as not to cause trouble and spoil the mood again."

Zhao Ji looked at the people in the room and said softly: "Everyone, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. If there is anything else, you can speak freely. If you depose the Son of Heaven and want the Daojun to ascend the throne, forget it. Ben Daojun was already disheartened and didn't want to fall into these whirlpools anymore. ”

In recent days, ministers have been coming to lament the various things that are not in the saints today. Zhao Ji dealt with it carefully, never expressed any opinions, but reprimanded the courtiers for deviating from the norm, and advised them to assist the Son of Heaven and concentrate on political affairs.

He himself is under house arrest. Once the official suspects him of bad intentions, then he will die without redemption.

Zhao Kai took a step forward, knelt down and said, "Daddy, the sons and the others will never dare to force you, the sons are here to bid you off."

Zhao Gou also went up, knelt down and kowtowed: "Please also ask Daddy to save the child for the sake of father and son."

As soon as the words of "Daddy" came out, Zhao Ji's heart warmed up inexplicably.

Zhao Ji frowned, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his expression, he looked at his two sons, and said, "If you two have anything to say, get up and talk carefully."

Zhao Kai wept and said: "Daddy, because of the affairs of the Imperial City Division, the official family has not been able to let go. A while ago, the Imperial City Division reduced the number of people by 700, not to mention, and now he has to begrapple with his sons to serve as the transfer envoy of Jingdong East Road. Isn't this forcing Erchen to his death?"

Most of Jingdong East Road is owned by Jinren. If Zhao Kai goes there to take office, he is afraid that he will be more auspicious.

Zhao Gou also choked up and said: "Daddy, the sons are just because of the power of the sons and the stay for too long, and the officials make things difficult for the children in every way. The child is already difficult to protect himself, and I am afraid that like the third brother, he will be relegated to Lingnan. ”

The love between the two was sincere, tears were falling, and the grief and indignation were overflowing, Tang Ke couldn't help but lower his head, and secretly sighed that he was too shallow to be so perfect.

Zhao Ji frowned, and asked in a trembling voice: "These things, but are they serious?"

Zhao Kai kowtowed and wept and said: "What the son said is true, if you don't believe your father, you can ask Geng Xiang."

Geng Nanzhong nodded and said: "Now that the Jin people are pressing, the official family is difficult to sleep and eat, under pressure, it must be ill-considered, and it is inevitable to do some foolish things, which can also be forgiven and forgiven."

Qin Hui shook his head and sighed: "Brothers are on the wall, and the enemy is insulted by foreign enemies. Now it is fratricidal brothers, this is really the enmity of relatives, and the pain is happy. My big song is going to be stormy, and the sky is going to change. Can an official really do such a thing?"

Tang Ke said softly: "There is nothing that the official family can't do." I rule the world with filial piety, look at the current situation of the emperor, the palace is deserted, and the act is like house arrest. The official family treats their father like this, not to mention brothers and outsiders. ”

Zhao Ji stood up and helped the two brothers, Zhao Kai and Zhao Go, up. I paced around the room by myself for a long time before I returned to the chair and sat down.

"How are you going to do that? What can Ben Daojun do?"

Zhao Ji finally asked.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhao Ji was willing, this matter was already half successful.

Geng Nanzhong stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhao Ji's ear, Zhao Ji's brows furrowed, obviously dissatisfied with Geng Nanzhong's words.

"The front of the palace, the horses, the infantry army and other marshals, the soldiers of the minions of the commander's family, the confidants of the official's family, the palace province, and the arch of Chenji."

He looked at the people in front of him, shook his head and said: "The palace commander Wang Zongwei is the uncle of the official family, he controls the guards, and this matter is very difficult to achieve." There are also horses, infantry and other commanders, as far as I know, are generals under Wang Song. This makes the matter even more difficult. Don't bother with it.

In front of the palace, Wang Zongmi, who was in command of Wang Zongmi, was stupid and greedy, and had no ability to command troops. But because he was a relative of Zhao Huan's mother, Empress Wang, he was appointed to the important position of this palace guard.

Geng Nanzhong and others wanted to push Zhao Ji to regain the throne, but Wang Zongwei alone would not be able to pass this pass, not to mention the horse and foot forbidden army controlled by Li Yanxian and others. The selection and appointment of the three yaguan troops is related to the vital military power of the capital. Its highest decision-making power, of course, is in the hands of the emperor.

"Emperor Daojun didn't know, in the first year of Jingkang, when the Jin people besieged Bianliang City, the Nanxun Gate was broken, and Wang Zongwei led the guards to escape, almost causing the capital to be lost. If it weren't for Wang Song's divine soldiers descending from heaven, I'm afraid that Bianliang City would have been breached long ago, and the official family would have become a ...... of the country."

Zhao Gou said loudly: "The official family ignored Wang Zongmi's disregard for the society that day, and he actually hugged his head and ran away, and he was already full of complaints. Wang Zongwei also knows that he knows that he sleeps in flowers and willows all day long, and haunts fireworks and willow lanes. I'm afraid that he won't be able to do it for a few days. ”

Wang Zongmi, such a greedy and mediocre, wine-lusted person, is as timid as a mouse, and it is easy to take him down.

"What His Royal Highness King Kang said is very true. Wang Zongmian is a mediocre and lascivious person, as long as he is promised high-ranking officials and beautiful jewelry, he will be able to make Wang Zongmian use for me. ”

Tang Ke stood up and bowed deeply.

"Weichen is willing to go, Yucheng is here. The Emperor doesn't have to worry about this. ”

Sure enough, they all came prepared, and it seemed that they were ready to fly, so they had to send it.

Zhao Ji groaned slightly and continued to ask.

"The Guards Ma Military Division, as well as the Guards Infantry Division, those commanders, deputy commanders, and Du Yuhou, most of them are Wang Song's subordinates, how do you deal with them?"

Geng Nanzhong smiled slightly: "The Emperor doesn't need to worry. At that time, as long as the Guards Ma Junsi and the Guards Infantry Division are in charge of the periphery. Now that Wang Song is dead, these crowds are leaderless and not difficult to deal with. Besides, even if they knew, it was a royal matter, and what did it have to do with them. ”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, stood up again, and paced in the room for a while before stopping.

"What you want to do, just do it."

Zhao Gou faced everyone and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't care what you do, don't implicate the Emperor Taishang in this matter, if something goes wrong, you can take it yourself."

Everyone bowed solemnly together: "King Kang, rest assured, we will keep it in mind and will never implicate the emperor."

"Good!"

Zhao Gou nodded, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what you do, the Emperor, the third brother and I don't want to see anything fratricidal. Have you all remembered? ”

Every word Zhao Gou said went to Zhao Ji's heart. His ninth son was strategizing and thoughtful, and he actually underestimated him before.

He nodded frequently, watching his ninth son talk eloquently, and the third son also listened carefully on the side, and couldn't help but bow slightly.

"This matter is a top secret, only a few people such as me know, you must keep your mouth shut, and you must not be careless!"

The other three were all solemn and swore by God.

When everyone left, Zhao Ji was also uneasy, and kept walking around the study until late at night.
